I love the Democratic party. The strongest position we have in it is “let’s make the Republicans look bad”. Like, holy fuck, talk about how you’re going to override the veto, talk about how you’re going to first pressure Republicans in purple seats to side with you on universally hated things like datacenters; to show that a 2/3rds vote is possible with pressure from the population. Talk about how you ARE going to pass Medicare for all by pressuring Republicans about to be purged from office in 2028 to “walk out” and not be present for the veto override voting. (The 2/3rds is based on members that are present, not actual house or Senate capacity). Like, holy fuck, the “best” position right now is “we’re gonna fail, but we’re gonna make Trump look bad”. Fucking hell dude. We are at the absolute floor. No one left in this country that likes Trump is changing their opinion when he vetos Medicare for all. Stop treating your Ls like wins. We don’t need “philosophical victories”. We need material change through legislation and a democratic party thats going to fight through every method possible. I swear; when the Dems win in a massive wave, they will spend the next two years passing legislation they know will be vetoed and then talking about how important 2028 is. Will win massively in 2028, and then literally follow the Obama playbook post Bush. No trials for war crimes, no arrest of ICE murderers, and another “we tortured some folks” reflection of how we need to “move on”. This party is a fucking op.
